With apologies to my husband, I've loved Bobby Burgess since I first saw him on the Mickey Mouse Club. His recounting of the Disney and Welk years and life since is wonderful and entertaining. Glad I finally had the opportunity to meet him a couple of years ago. I read this on Kindle, but if I get to meet him again, I'll be buying the hard copy too to have it autographed.. A great book for all us old-time Mouskateers and Welk fans, too. Must read!
I had the honor of participating in Bobby`s wedding because I was one of his Sigma Pi fraternity brothers. I thought I knew all about him --- not. His book is fascinating, giving the story of a very interesting and full life. If you have ever had an interest in the Mouseketeers, Lawrence Welk or the life of this great dancer and his family then this is a must read.
I loved reading all about the Mouseketeers and Lawerence Welk stars. Even though Bobby's sister was my best friend and I was always at the Burgess home, I learned a great deal I hadn't known. He truly came from a simple, loving family. He's writing made all the personalities come to life. Easy read. He makes you want to make your own "bucket list" of places to see. Those of us who grew up watching these programs were blessed. Knowing some of these people was an extra bonus for me.
Good information, history of TV represented through the career of Bobby Burgess. Long before "Dancing with the Stars" Bobby used ballroom dancing to choreograph performances to popular songs. His recount of his years with Walt Disney's and Lawrence Welk's shows is entertaining.
An easy read if you are interested in reading about Bobby's life beginning with his days with the Mickey mouse club and Lawrence Welk shows. From child star to stardom....ups and downs, and how he managed them.....
Mr. Burgess's fascinating life is vividly portrayed in this amazing book. My only regret was that it ended!!! The friendly narrative meanders through the ins-and-outs of show-biz and one suddenly realizes Bobby has gone from child star to a star in the dance world-- from Mouseketeer to professional dancer and choreographer on the "Lawrence Welk Show." Bobby's humor is infectious, and his sweet and kind nature pours through the pages. He's the real deal... this is not a faked persona he turns on and off. What is on the page is what one meets in real life.I'm so grateful, now, that my grandma MADE me watch the Welk show every week. I have a great appreciation for that type of music (now) and it was a pleasure watching Bobby on the Mickey Mouse Club, growing into the wonderful person he is (from the years on the Lawrence Welk program) to now, with his involvement with Cotillion. A wonderful read!!!
EXCELLENT!!! An overall great book! I would recommend this book for so many reasons....laughter, interesting facts and information about two of the leading icons of our show biz memories, first hand insight and stories written in an upbeat manner! Just a great and very fun read!
I enjoyed "Ears an Bubbles" book by Bobby Burgess. I've been a fan of his since he started with the Mickey Mouse Club and right through the entire Lawrence Welk years up to the present time. He is a fantastic person with a wonderful family both personal and business wise. It was fun reading!!
